X-Play Reviews Too Human

At long last, Too Human has been released. The long development cycle of the game and a seemingly endless stream of controversies have threatened to establish a mythology larger than the one presented in the game itself and eclipse the true question, "Is the game any good." Well here's your answer, while it's not perfect it's very, very good.

1.2 - yeah, they used to be pretty funny too and smart about reviews.
They give now give no substance in reviews and fell apart pretty easily.

I think Adam and Morgan's acting is started to go down the sink too. I just never noticed it unitl they started their 'new xplay'

final fantasy IV, final fantasy tactics A2, MGS4, The World Ends With You, Okami, Persona 3, and kingdom hearts beg to differ. They all got 4s or higher.

They made no reference to the horrible camera angle or lack there of. Xplay is a joke in the video game world.

1.5 - X-Play...
I'm glad Too Human got a good score and all, but THIS IS X-PLAY. This is the same show that RIPS anything Japanese and Sony and calls for it to evolve and move on whilst giving anything Nintendo branded an automatic good score. This is the same show that will promote the 360 like they're on the MS payroll and focus entirely on Microsoft for interviews and special segments unless it envolves Ted Price and Insomniac (cause Morgan loves those guys).

I remember X-Play giving a 4/5 to Viking. I was like, HEY! Good review!...that game sucked horribly. I remember them giving FF: Crisis Core a 2/5....averaging 85 on metacritic and with them giving little explaination...nice!

I also remember Motorstorm's 3/5 and comments like "why would you buy a PS3", "useless PS3", "sell your PS3."

*sigh* I hate X-Play. Useless, biased and overexposed.

no, X-play and g4 as a whole is just crap. x-play used to be my favorite show, I think it really fell apart when they got that orange/black set change.g4 is a joke because it went from being a true gamers channel to a rerun channel that tries to mimic Spike but fails horribly.

They can't be serious with that review...
This game deserves a 3/5 at the most. Giving it a 4/5 is like saying it's close to perfection.

why? to me the game looks like a solid rental. i did laugh at the "great visuals". you can easily see the blockyness of the characters.

edit: 4/5=80/100. it's no where near "close to perfection"

If any G4 cast member likes something, then it seems the whole station rides that things nuts and hops on the bandwagon. I remember hearing Kevin on AOTS yesterday being excited about Too Humans release, and Adam and Morgan also were anticipating this game. Seriously the whole network hops on the bandwagon when its that time. They are the biggest bandwagoners I've ever seen on cable television.

But I knew they would praise this game. Really proves their current lack of credibility. Oh what happened to G4.

So what? If they liked the game, then they liked the game. I don't think X-Play's biased. Not everyone has to hate the game. Let the people who enjoy the game enjoy the game, right?

Adam Sessler is a balding virgin idiot that doesn't know his hand from his a$$ crack!.

If you see what juuken (he/she/it) has been writing then you would know he/she/it is a troll and 24/7 in in 360 news with nothing but negative comments for 360.

I doubt he/she/it even owns any console.

1.23 - I think I found something interest.....
Now first of all, I only own a 360, but I LOVE GAMES ONLY, and it suck that I do not own a PS3. But I was doing a research on Xplay, G4 Media, and TechTV. Now what I have found out is that G4 Media is just a network own by Comcast & EchoStar. But, Xplay the show itself is owned by TechTV. Now eversince in May of 2004 TechTv merged with G4 Media, alot of their shows were droped, CUZ IT SUCKED MAJOR ASS, except for a couple includeing Xplay. Now tis the surprise. TechTV is owned by Ziff-Davis (ZDmedia), G4 Media (Comcast) and VULCAN VENTURES, which is an INVESTMENT company OWNED BY PAUL ALLEN (co-founder of Microsoft) to handle HIS INVESTMENTS. Wiki it YOURSELVES.

Good work there!

I think you'd be surprised to find out how many of these major media organizations are funded or owned by people with financial biases.

Check out EGM, Gamespot, IGN, 1up, and Game Informer.

In the past year or so X-Play has sadly given up on the idea of "brutally honest" game reviews (used to be their motto) in favor of straight up pandering. Basically if a game has a lot of marketing money, hype behind it it gets a higher score than it might deserve. They thrive on industry access and now that they are becoming more mainstream they can't afford to cheese people off - so they go for the safe option.

Take a Assassin's Creed. I played the whole game, it was OK. It has some cool elements, but was far far from perfect. But it had a ton of hype surrounding it so X-Play gave it a 5 out of 5 and hailed it as one of the best games of the year.

It's a shame, but they've sold out. I still TiVo it though :)

outside in the real world, a lot of people love Assassin's creed, and you know what? 80% of them don't even know about video game sites, and don't care really either. And like I said in the above comment realgamer, it seems they where not biased when thy gave MGS4 5 stars.

Just because they gave MGS4 a 5/5 doesn't mean they aren't biased. I've heard G4 constantly rip on the PS3, especially Adam Sessler. I remember the days when I could watch G4 without having my investments be questioned.

Almost all of them are biased one way or another.

Explain MGS4? Maybe they actually enjoyed it? Just because somebodys bias doesn't mean that they will HATE EVERYTHING that isn't in their personal bias. I think they've proven to have a pretty clear bias in favor of 360 and Microsoft, regardless of any games they enjoyed on Ps3. Obviously a cable television show can't get away with scoring EVERY SINGLE Ps3 game low for no apparent reason, but I do think they can clearly get away with showing a slight bias and trying to sway their viewers opinions ever so slightly, cuz they obviously do right now with people still blind to it.

G4 has just turned into bandwagoners, I don't know if they purposely mean to show any bias, they just hop on whatevers "in" or trendy with this new internet or "Youtube" generation. What about Wii? Its a different audience, 360 is the "in" system with the whole hardcore and internet generation type of crowd, which is exactly what G4 aims at as well. I don't know if that makes any sense, its hard to for me to explain, but I've been watching G4 since the network got started a long time ago and I've watched them slowly change the past two years, they've completely changed their target audience.

No. It's called having some of Microsoft's pay-off moneys in you're general bank account the next day after the review and then "deciding" for yourself that the game is satisfactory.

7 - It's sad.
It's sad when a game has to have perfect ratings to be labeled as good. Ratings are simply someone elses opinion. With professional ratings from mags and tv shows, atleast the reviewers are responsible for what they say. When you start to mix in the biased "reviews" from fan sites, the review system is broke. Lair was probably the game affected by this the most. It is a very good game that was over looked by many due to the unprofessional opinionized and biased drivel spewn all over the internet by many people that didn't own a PS3 or even a copy of the game. Haze was another and now Too Human. All very good games and worth playing, yet are known more for the bs from the net instead of how fun the game is.

The system is broken and we are to blame.

I agree somewhat but I have to say I played Lair in it's original form and the controls totally ruined the game for me.
